for the ask meme Cynthia pokemon:)?
heheh okay <3 it's been like *stares at Platinum release date* 13 years since I last played a gen 4 game <3
She got abandoned by her parents/guardians when she was very young. Her grandmother (actually Cogita) found her wandering around and immediately took her in because she looked just like a certain certain blond maniac. (idc if it's realistic, but this is literally canon to me and I will hunt people who think Cogita and Volo banged for sport <3)
Oh and while she did inherit Volo's interest in mythology & ruins, she totally stole her outfit from Cogita's Hisui-era wardrobe.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
She once almost got arrested for „ambushing“ trainers in Unova lol
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
She’s always had a strong bound with Giratina. When she was a child, she’d sometimes wake up at night, terrified after its shadowy figure attempted to communicate with her in her dreams. When she told her parents/guardians about those dreams, they became horrified and, because Giratina is considered to be akin to the devil, decided she must be cursed. So they abandoned her. As she got older and learned about mythology and Giratina‘s identity, they got better at communicating, its presence became comforting to her and a driving force in her pursuit for knowledge. Ultimately their bound saved Sinnoh during the events of Platinum.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
PLA, but it's Cynthia getting isekai'd and beating some sense into Volo <3
Prompt: Send me a character's name to receive four different headcanons
